Fix README for using multiple deploy keys in docker

Browse source 
## TL;DR;
Multiple deploy keys in docker doesn't work after following everything in README. Loading `.gitconfig` into git in docker fixed it.

## Summary
We are using multiple Github deploy keys in docker for PIP to install dependencies from multiple private Github repositories. However, after doing everything from the webfactory/ssh-agent README, including adding comment when generating keys and copying `.gitconfig` and `.ssh/` into docker, the multiple deploy keys still didn't work. We print out the verbose log for `git ssh` when doing PIP install by using `RUN --mount=type=ssh GIT_SSH_COMMAND="ssh -v" pip install -r /requirements.txt`. Turns out that it was blindly accepting the first key (repo-a) even though it should use the second key (repo-b) which is way it couldn't fetch from the repo-b. After some research, the webfactory/ssh-agent depends on the customized `.gitconfig` file to map the correct ssh key to the correct repository link. Then we did a `RUN git config -l` in the Dockerfile and the output was empty which means that although we are copying the `.gitconfig` file into the docker image, it was not loaded into git config. So after adding `RUN mv /root/.gitconfig /etc/gitconfig` into the Dockerfile, the PIP install started working. In conclusion, the `.gitconfig` config file doesn't do anything sitting in the `/root` folder.

### Following was the original error message excluding sensitive information that helped us figure out the root cause:

Keep in mind that the resulting Docker image now might contain these customized Git and SSH configuration files! Your private SSH keys are never written to files anywhere, just loaded into the SSH agent and forwarded into the container. The config files might, however, give away details about your build or development process and contain the names and URLs of your (private) repositories. You might want to use a multi-staged build to make sure these files do not end up in the final image.
